2020 Riunione dei Cunico

Vorrei estendere un invito a voi, la vostra famiglia ed ad ogni Cunico che conoscete "alla Riunione internazionale della famiglia Cunico" per 13 settembre 2020. Sarà tenuta ad Asiago.

When:13 settembre 2020  10:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Where:Centro Congressi Millepini - Conference Center
Address
: Via Millepini, 1, 36012, Asiago, Italy

Domenica 13 settembre 2020 si svolgerà a Centro Congressi Millepini, ridente località dell’Altopiano di Asiago, il 4 Raduno Internazionale della grande famiglia dei Cunico. Queste rimpatriate sono molto gradite dai tanti Cunico sparsi nei 5 continenti specialmente perché danno modo a molte famiglie di far conoscere a figli e nipoti il paese d’origine di questo cognome forse un po’ strano, ma di chiari origini anglosassone.

This will be a great opportunity to meet your extended family of "Cunico Cousins"! If you have ancestors who were Cunico's, you are invited... your name doesn't have to be CUNICO!

Please bring any family records you might have along with copies of family photos, favorite recipes and stories you'd like to share.

PRE-REUNION DINNER

 

DINNER AT RICCARDO'S

The past three reunions we had our pre-reunion dinner at Riccardo Cunico's restaurant - Ristorante Al Maddarello - Via Kaberlaba, 6 - Asiago. His new restaurant is called "Casa Rossa". Once again, I'm hoping to have a pre-reunion dinner at Riccardo's restaurant.

He can accomodate a maximum of 130 people for a better dining experience. We will allocate bookings on a "first come" basis. Click here for a link to his web site. A menu will be available as we get closer to the reunion date.

As the date gets closer, if you are interested in joining us, please email me (barth@bcunico.com).

Local markets

There different sizes of supermarkets and fruit shops throughout Asiago "centro". All have good products...cheeses, cold meats etc and fresh bread. On Saturdays there is a "gypsy market" behind the Sporting Residence Hotel. They sell everything from clothing to food. Locals buy flowers there to take to the cemetery afterwards (very Italian thing!) Excellent for fruit and vegetables.

GUEST SPEAKERS

 

I am hoping the Asiago Mayor's Office will welcome us to Asiago to open our reunion.


Massimo Paganin (author of the book "Antiche Famiglie di Asiago"... [storia genealogia onomastica... Alle origini di una comunita rurale] has once again consented to be a guest speaker. His presentation was so well received in 2013, I asked him back!


I am also hoping to have a slideshow presentation about the "Sister City" pact that was signed between Asiago, VI, Italia and the city of Lockport, Illinois where numerous Asiaghesi families settled when they came to America.


My own presentation will discuss my journey attempting to merge Cunico families around the world.
